Vision Essentials by Kaiser Permanente, Bellflower

This place is AMAZING. I went there this past Tuesday for an appointment with Dr. Euri Chi. I went there for an eye exam for a new prescription. While in my appointment, she was very thorough and explained in detail about the current state of my vision. And when I got to actually picking out the glasses, the lady who helped me was super nice and gave me a great deal for what my insurance covered. From now on, this will be the ONLY place I get my eye care from. I received my new eyeglasses so fast too.

I came for an eye exam to get a new prescription. Dr Andrew Ngo took excellent care of me. He looked inside my eyes and dilated them. He sent me for a special scan. He even took photos of the retina. Very complete care. I was fortunate to have my appointment with him.

I needed to have my vision check after the last one two years ago. This is something I'm used to doing, however, little did I know this would become more than the usual eye check or eyewear prescription update. I was examined by Dr. Hamilton without anything unusual. When that part of vision and examination was done, I very casually asked if having more floating things in my vision was anything- these are literally called floaters. Turns out that was THE most important part of the exam since I could have potentially an eye emergency called retinal detachment. She wanted to do an eye exam with dilation eye drops. The eye drops themselves were not uncomfortable but the effect does last for several hours afterwards. She also asked a colleague Dr. Kim to recheck my eyes for a second opinion. I have a follow up with her in 4 weeks. The slit eye lamp exam can be unnerving because it is VERY. BRIGHT. But it is painless. Covid precautions in place, insurance required.
